The ambiguity of the Otherworld's existence has led to many theories, such as the characters affected by the Otherworld being transported to a parallel world, or the Otherworld being a hallucination projected by the power of Silent Hill in order to put the victim in their own personal hell, with the creators calling the Otherworld a "dream world".

Here’s the Italian Poster of Silent Hill 2 Revelation:

Most of the Silent Hill games can be characterized in a handful of words - Silent Hill 2 is the one with Pyramid Head, Shattered Memories is the one with motion controls, and The Room is that weird one, you know, with the ghosts? Silent Hill: Origins however, can't be described as much more than the one that's there. While there's nothing inherently wrong with it and it's perfectly workmanlike, it doesn't offer much that the rest of the series hasn't already done better and with more soul.

A Silent Hill (: サイレントヒル, a Konami cég videojátékának címe.

If you're just looking for the Silent Hill basics converted to mobile format, Origins neatly fits the bill: exclusive to the PSP, it stars a troubled middle-age trucker named Travis Grady, who is drawn to Silent Hill by a mysterious entity and must battle his way through both a quiet fog world and a grizzly Otherworld. As the name implies, Travis experiences the events that precede the original Silent Hill, so you get the thrill of seeing those familiar characters again and then the dull realization that they don't do anything new. Basically, Origins is a fine game if you're absolutely craving some Silent Hill action - but fine is the best that can be said about it.
